N4SDChastity -> RE: Does Being a Master mean you're also a Sadist? (4/7/2007 8:18:29 PM)

I "can be" sadistic. I believe we all "can be," at times. When I say I am "not" a sadist I am saying that I do not generally derive pleasure from other peoples' pain. Quite the opposite, in fact. Being moderately empathic, I tend to share, to some small degree, IN that pain. Having said that I think I'm about to contradict myself when I say that I have enjoyed delivering spankings, on occasion, when I felt it was warranted or wanted. But, if I felt it were truly damaging someone, physically OR emotionally, it would no longer be a source of joy, but, again, one of shared pain. The last time I did something along those lines that DID cause emotional pain was with my then 16-month-old daughter, some 20 years ago (it was a swat on her arm as she reached for something from the stove, before you guys go lighting into me for child abuse, OK?). The pain I caused hurt me to such a degree that I never raised my hand to her ever again, or to my son after he was born. If the person I'm spanking derives some sort of pleasure from it, even if only in some twisted way, then *I* enjoy it, too. Oddly enough, I do not have the same problem with nipple torture, for some reason...[8|] THAT I DO enjoy doing, even if it hurts[8D]
